Trilogy Lacrosse Announces Veterans Day Tournament

BROOKLYN, NY - Trilogy Lacrosse, The Leader in Lacrosse Education, launched its inaugural Veterans Day Tournament to Benefit Wounded Warrior ProjectÂ®. The one-day event is at the Drum Point Sports Complex in Brick, NJ on November 9, 2014 and will feature three games plus a championship at the High School, U15, U13, and U11 divisions. Ten percent of tournament registration fees will be donated to the Wounded Warrior ProjectÂ®(WWP).

âWe are extremely excited to host an event of this caliber at the Jersey Shore in support of WWP, an organization whose mission and values we believe in,â said Mitch Belisle, Trilogy Lacrosse VP of Marketing. âMuch like our summer Masters Tournament Series, we anticipate programs from across the country competing in this first rate event with a championship format and family-friendly atmosphere.â

Building on the features that have resulted in two sold-out tournaments during the summer of 2014, the Veterans Day Tournament to Benefit Wounded Warrior ProjectÂ® will take place on a single-site location containing eleven fields, convenient parking and field access, and a bustling vendor village. The championship format at a fall event and high attention to detail in the bracketing process further differentiate Trilogy Lacrosse tournaments. Space will be limited and programs interested in attending are encouraged to visit www.trilogylacrosse.com/tournaments for more information and to reserve a spot.

The Veterans Day Tournament to Benefit Wounded Warrior ProjectÂ® is the first in a series of upcoming events marking Trilogy Lacrosseâs recently announced partnership with Wounded Warrior ProjectÂ® (WWP), whose mission is to honor and empower Wounded Warriors. Trilogy Lacrosse will continue to augment WWP lacrosse events and create new dynamic programs to raise awareness for WWP initiatives.

Simply put, the reputation of the company and the people involved is what makes them an ideal partner for us," explained Adam Silva, Chief Development Officer for Wounded Warrior ProjectÂ®.
